I also wonder if the 5v/3.3v supply is monitored by the ADC separately because we like to look at that for diagnostics, and previously used a jumper in adc7 to do this, which consumes an analog channel.
The specs list 8 ADC and 2 DAC. Presumably, the extra ones are on the Custom Electronics Port. Since the ADCs are 12 bit 0-5v, we get 2 free bits compared to the current cRIO, as long as you don't care about -10 to 10v.
